Factory Five Show Favorites

It’s not every day you get to see so many top-notch cars in one beautiful location. The 6th Annual Factory Five Racing event took place this past Saturday, April 27th, in Huntington, Beach, California, right along the pier and Main Street. We were overwhelmed by all of the amazing Factory Five MK4 Roadsters, Type 65 Coupes, and ’33 Hot Rods.

As we walked up and down Main Street, cars were lined up along the shops, most with their hoods slung open to show off the beasts that powered them. Every car was a masterpiece in their own unique way and each owner had a different story of how they came to be. With so many vehicles in attendance it was difficult to choose a favorite. However, we did the next best thing and chose a handful of our favorites instead. Of course, we made sure to corner each owner for the specs; including everything from the drivetrain to the interior.

What’s more, the Factory Five Event even included an awards ceremony for their Best in Show pick. This year, that award went to Chuck Armstrong’s ’33 Hot Rod Factory Five car. It features a supercharged 4.6 Aluminator engine finished off in black chrome. For paint, Jeff Miller of Temecula, California worked his magic in the booth while interior threads were stitched by Leather Pro’s in St. George Utah. The build was finished off in an aircraft theme.

We couldn’t agree more on the choice for Best in Show. It was definitely a great day and we met some interesting people along the way. There is such a passion when it comes to this hobby and it’s great to see enthusiasts coming together to have a good time. Make sure to mark your calendars. Factory Five will return again next year. See you there!
